It would be interesting to hear the real truth behind this deal, but I don't think we ever will. I've heard Overstock.com had a 17,000 customer limit. Did Newegg know how much their limit was beforehand? Most retailers were supposed to honor the promotion until December 10th, but Newegg initially said it was only going to be for 2 days. That tells me they had an inkling of the potential demand. If you offer 20% off to customers for ANY item, they will flock to your store and buy anything and everything - because just about anything you can buy for 20% off is a good deal. Who wouldn't have realized that Newegg would be flooded with orders?
